Value Investing Works with Lauren Templeton [Ep. 13]

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lauren Templeton. In a recent article on Fortune titled, "Value stocks are unloved, unsexy, and poised to make a killing over the next decade", the author hits on a familiar trope that most folks in finance have been saying for a while and begs the question - why are value stocks unloved and unsexy right now? I wanted to understand this point better and why value investing works - there's no one better to help in this pursuit than Lauren.
